European power markets at a turning point, with Iben Frimann-Dahl and Francesca Bjørnflaten

Let’s Talk Energy and unpack the European power sector with Iben Frimann-Dahl, Rystad Energy Advisory Partner, and Francesca Bjørnflaten, Vice President of Renewables & Power Research. European power was once a fairly mundane topic, but not anymore. Today, it’s one of the most interesting and perhaps contentious topics in energy. The continent’s electricity markets are at a pivot point as countries integrate an ever-rising share of renewables while ending their dependence on Russian natural gas. Such a significant evolution is rarely smooth or linear. European wholesale power prices have risen by 30% in the past year and rising energy costs have become a major headache for companies, consumers and governments. Can Europe control consumer energy costs while it continues to build out a power system that is cleaner and less reliant on imported fuel?How can companies navigate this evolution profitably and are the current business models fit for purpose?What can other regions learn from Europe as they continue to grow, modernize and decarbonize their own power sectors? Additional reading: Whitepaper: European Clean Tech (accessible for non-clients)House View Report (accessible for non-clients)Rapid renewables buildout helps Greece reach net power exporter status (clients only)Vestas and SGRE ramp up 15 MW turbine production in Europe, Asia (clients only)Southeast Europe to double installed wind capacity by 2034 (clients only)Spain’s solar, onshore wind capacity surge in 1H25 despite revenue pressures (clients only)Poland sets bold national energy and climate goals – can they deliver? (clients only) Sign up for our upcoming Rystad Energy Summits in London and Singapore.
